Maybe we just need to stop making excuses for WHY we eat. Because even if we choose to eat, we can still find something healthy, can't we? Just take responsibility and move on... Excuses keep us fat.

you can eat food with electrolytes, you don't have to drink them!! also - be VERY careful with sports drinks... most are very high in sodium. sodium potassium calcium magnesium chloride ... and i think phosphate and carbonate hoping i remember my chemistry correctly!! :smile: also - a migraine has nothing to do with WHERE…

Even though I worked today, I had a great day! Somber, to be sure. But a great day nonetheless! :bigsmile:

You are an inspiration!! I think you're awesome for getting out there and accomplishing what you once thought impossible!! Way to go!! :drinker:

ahhh another working weekend. :grumble: ...so I'm thinkin' they need to make a law that says people can't be sick enough to need medical attention on the weekends! it would work for me! :laugh: so I missed 2 of my 4 workout days this week. :sad: I know I will pay for it on Monday with the Slave Driver. :sad: But I suppose…

exercise?!

wow... way to give up...! the worst part is... you are the one missing out. shame... It must be said, however... that I am not at all surprised. If you needed a reason to quit, you could've just said so.

I weighed 335# and I was over 40... have PCOS, DM 2, had HTN, high chol, high triglycerides, bad knees... I did it without surgery. However, I would never say surgery doesn't help some people. We are individuals and so is our journey to better health...

I think you are being too sensitive. Who cares what everyone else is doing? What you are doing is working for you, isn't it? Isn't that all that really counts?

Christine ~ YAY for you!! :bigsmile:

Love the new challenges. Thanks, April! :happy:

LOL Not a big deal, really. My day won't be long... and I DO get Holiday pay... so that's always a good thing! :happy: Plus, I get a short day tomoz for Chad's first day at a new school. Life is good. I am blessed!

Gotta love ya, Christine! You are always able to make me laugh! :laugh:

...and I have to work... :ohwell:

I haven't given up anything. I just "pay" for what I eat by doing extra exercise. However, I rarely drink Pepsi or eat fast food anymore. :bigsmile:

lame excuse. and excuses will keep you fat.

Okay... ready to join in! :happy: I have been hovering around 166# for AGES, it seems! Well, I finally have movement on the scale again! YAY! :bigsmile: 164# looked great when it popped up on the scale!! :drinker: I am looking forward to being in the 150's - hopefully by Thanksgiving. The closer I get to my goal weight,…

:happy: Christine - have fun with the house hunting! Don't get all emotional, use your head! I'm stuck in a weight rut!! I think they call it a plateau... but that is never what it feels like!! :sad: Oh well... I'll get through it! Great job on the loss, Nikki! :drinker: See you all on the other site!

wow - i'm vey impressed!

Awesome Nikki!

I will rejoin the group in 2 weeks when I am finished with the other challenge! Good luck everyone! Great to see new faces!

Oh... I think I want to finish this Challange before I start another one. I'd rather have the next Challenge shorter than just drop off this one near the end. We have 2 weeks left! :frown: Can't we have the Halloween Challenge be just 8 weeks instead? ...Maybe I will just not do the Halloween Challenge.

I love the first one! Second one - not so much. Seemed too busy, distracting from the sentiments of the photograph.

Yeah... I kinda like the results! :wink:

Sounds SO awesome!

NICE!!!!!!!!

Hurtin' for certain - but it's a good pain! :bigsmile: Still... not liking the Slave Driver's new circuit!

One day of not having enough calories won't put you into starvation mode, April!

Sara, What I feel the need to say is #1) Don't look at it as a diet... because it's a lifestyle change. Truly, diets don't work. If they did, there would be no fat people walking around... but there are PLENTY of them! And most of them have done EVERY diet known to man! (BTW, I still consider myself a fat person.) #2)…

Nikki - you amaze me!!
